Is sickle hook size #4 about the average used for a 1/16 head?
Yes, the smaller size is usually more popular, though I like big hooks to catch him in the roof of his mouth instead of the paper thin mouth.
Just FYI here's what I use.
1/8th - #1
1/16th - #2, #4
1/32nd - #4, #6
1/64th - #8
1/80th - #8
